bridge idea

Additionally I removed the factory adjustable rope bridge that came with the Flex due to bulk and weight. I have a mantis with the amsteel bridge and now the flex with the webbing and I think I like the webbing best to be honest. I never like sliding the burry through my carabiner not thsat it was an issue more like a preference. When I am having to turn around and slide the bridge through it is a slight pucker moment when the burry catches and then slides rather than just slide like the webbing does. Plus webbing is cheap and can be replace in a few minutes or less.
 
I use a hybrid bridge/tether similar to @Nutterbuster. It consists of 7' of 1" climb spec tube webbing, a austrialpin frame release d ring, 3.5" of climb spec tube webbing and two wire gate beiners. (I'm aware of the safety issue with the the wire gates, but they work for me and are rate at 22kn, I choose this for my set as I am constantly aware of my loading). Its ultra light, easy to pack very adjustable and simply works for me.

Wow that is an interesting set up. Much more compact than a rope tether! Kudos for the great idea, I will have to try it
